CREC: The Blueprint: Building Powerful Special Education Practices | Hartford, Connecticut
Accreditation badge as a CAEP provider

The Blueprint is a training curriculum that provides a variety of products and services to help your organization maximize student educational benefits of their IEP. The program emphasizes aligning well- developed IEP goals and objectives to State Standards using specially designed instruction and collaboration to create individualized programs in the least restrictive environment. The training was updated in 2026 to align with CT-SEDs terminology and expectations.

The Blueprint can increase the achievement and success of students with disabilities by:

  • Incorporating the State Standards into student IEPs
  • Providing specialized instruction
  • Delivering better instruction using progress monitoring
  • Using research-based practices to enhance learning for students with disabilities
